gas tank question

[indyfansd]

have a 73 620 that previous owner installed a huge gas tank

has parking brake cable bracket attached to it

problem is im lowered 3 inches in rear and scrape all the time due to tank beeing the lowest part of the truck

po has a bunch of jb weld patches on the tank

any suggestions or knowledge of a different tank i can put on it?

stock, or put a tank in the bed

Any one else have a mental picture of hitting a speed bump, causing a leak, and the metal sparks igniting the spilled gas?

Pretty much what I was thinking. Get that fixed NOW.

Either put the stock tank in it,or get a fuel cell for the bed. Or at least raise it up.

You could take the tank out and cut it and re weld it so its flush with the rest of the truck. And while your at it make skid plates for the underbelly of the truck. That's what id do

I really like the E brake JBwelded? to it. It's so daring, so forward thinking, so....

[indyfansd]

Haha. Working of previous owner. Even did a tuneup when i got the truck. Plugs were gapped at .05 and instead of replacing fuel filter he just added a 2nd one

[datzenmike]

Ha ha ha. That should go in the Fabrication FAIL thread.

Thats what happens when college kids play too much need for speed. It brings out the "mechanic" in them

Need lots of pics! Plse! For the Lolz

[indyfansd]

no oics right now due to it being dark as hell

but small things that were a mess

like hinge for glove box being electrical tape

and truck is a rust bucket, fine with me

but previous owner attempted to paint over it with "plastidip"

[indyfansd]

if anyone knoi\ws where i can find a factory gas tank or knows a specific tank that will work in the truck please let me know

[Eagle_Adam]

you should focus on people you your area that are parting out a truck, most PnP's punch holes in the tanks to drain them :(

 

a fuel cell might be easier

I agree put a stock tank back in it.. or put it in the bed or a fuel cell...
